1) There will be no character transfers. FFXI characters can NEVER move to XIV. They are separate games!

2) Server names MAY be the same as XI server names so if you were in Midgar in XI you might be able to be in Midgar in XIV. I don't think server names are on the top of too many people's lists of "ZOMG WANT THIS INFO"

dunno if the server names them selves will be the same i doubt it, i'm sure they will make server names that have to do with names from ffxiv.

as for keeping your name, i saw on a read or interview they say they may add a sir name. so people with the same name from different servers if they end up going same server they can keep there name but have different sir names. like WEEBLE(old name ffxi) ANALHOLE (sir name) so it's WEEBLE ANALHOLE lol all right!!

as for transfering your acuall account from ffxi to ffxiv lol, that wont happen, though it would be cool if you could pay a few bucks so that you always look like your old toon maybe. but a guess people who know how to dat file change could always change it up for themselves lol, all the crabs can look like you as you fight em. yaay.

never said anything bout transfering accounts from 11 to 14, im saying ppl will want to see familiar faces into 14, so ppl may translate 11 server names to 14, that way people just hope over to there new server.

You could have phrased it better. Do you read your posts after you type them to see if someone else will be able to understand? I get what you were saying now that you've explained it a bit more, but perhaps the response would have been better if you had done that initially.

It would make it easier to have the same names. Perhaps they will. Although, I expect a certain group to start shouting about how the game is a copy of FFXI. ...Oh well.

I for one think SE is going to name the servers just as they are in FFXI. The reason is simple, they are making the game easy to switch from FFXI to FFXIV. Look at the 5 races, exactly the same except with minor changes. What easier way for FFXI players to roll into FFXIV than by choosing they server they played in FFXI.
